Extension Development - Lessons From Partitioning and Monitoring

Level: Intermediate

Working on extensions since their inception in version 9.1, they have basically built my career in the PostgreSQL community. From critical CVEs to quick hacks, this talk will go over both the major and minor lessons learned in over a decade of development milestones. Some topic highlights include:

• Why even make an extension?
• Managing extension upgrades
• Managing code organization
• Managing multiple PG version support
• Managing shortcomings in core PG
• Why use an extension to help manage monitoring?
• What's still missing?
